Re: [orca-list] [Support] sonar bersion based off of debian sid and wheezy

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

Hi,

I see that Firefox and Thunderbird are installed, and thank you for 
that.  I tried to set some keyboard shortcuts, like 'ctrl+alt+b' to 
launch the default browser.  This didn't work.  Next, I went to 
'details' in GNOME Control Center, and discovered that there is no 
default browser defined, and mutt is defined for mail, with no way to 
change this default to thunderbird or set anything as default browser.





Cheers,





Dave  Hunt
